This method is great... but can look a little flat.The way in which i do it is to use a panel background. In most cases i use one called 'Smoke' which you can download @ http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Smoke+-+a+gnome+panel+bg?content=99748SAVE IT SOMEWHERE SAFE! And then go to panel properties as described above but this time choose 'panel background'. Navigate to the background you just downloaded and click apply! :DSome themes, however, don't let you fully 'theme' the panel this way, so the menu and notification areas don't change. This sucks, so make sure you choose a theme that does let you. Dust is a good choice and is what i use. Sure :)

Also your window borders as well. I'm new to linux, although have a fair understanding of how to customise the system. would be great if you could provide links to the desktop theme you use?

It's an elusive beast.The basics of my desktop always stay the same mostly.droid sans font for the menus, etc gnome-do docky i used to use melaie-white icon set, now i use humanity (comes default in Karmic!) I used to use Dust GTK theme but now i use a combination of dust and shiki-dust metacity. covergloobus for coverart.if you show me a screenshot of what you're after i can be much more specific in terms of what i used. I'll even pop everything in my dropbox for easy download, too! I never feel my desktop is perfect, either! It’s an elusive beast.
